The Aspire E1 notebook, meanwhile, is available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch versions, and customers will have the option of either AMD quad-core A6 or A4 accelerated processors.

The V5 will be available at the end of May in some European countries while the E1 is available starting immediately. However the official UK release date and prices have not yet been announced for either, though Acer has promised them very soon.
